Ok, lets place a more detailed review here. This is my third camping in the area over last 5 years. I used to stay in the area next to Caorle but this year we were late and this camping was the last available for the affordable price so I was sceptical about the quality and confused by lack of positive reviews. We were 3 adult men and 4 kids from 5 to 10. The goal was to relax and let kids swim and let them to whatever they want. In short: it was much better than I expected. I've heard the camping is positioned as 4 stars but I do not know how to relate stars to the camping areas since it is mainly self service and bungalows, so, lets do not discuss stars. There are no pitches in the camping, only bungalows. They are spacious, in 2 levels for 8 people maximum and we were 7 and it was a perfect fit. There is a separate bathroom on the second floor. The internal condition of the bungalow was ok: everything was functional, clean and cosy. Some people complain that bungalows are old, dirty and scratched - was not true in our case. Insects, mosquitoes and wasps: there are some, but no more than in any other big european city this summer. I used raptor and other chemicals to protect kids, but as I said, in Berlin Tiergarten and in Englischer Garten in Munich there are many more insects than in the camping. Food: the restaurant in the camping is good. It is a bit cheaper than similar ones in Berlin or Munich. But I believe could be even cheaper. We did not try half-pension, just eat there twice and then were cooking at home. The onsite minimarket is ok, but expensive and is closed from 13.00 till, I think, 17.00, which is not handful. There nearest appropriate Connad supermarket is in Sant Alberto, about 15 km, which was not a problem for us, we had a car. For those who has not, could be a problem. May be there is a better option I am not aware of. You may go for fishmarkt in Porto Garibaldi for fresh fish and shrimps, but we had no time to try. Animation: there is a team, which works in the pool in the morning and on the stage in the evening. Our kids were not impressed (they were mainly for football, there are 2 football fields, one volleyball and, I think, tennis, and there are kinder playgrounds, which are very good), but looked like majority of people and smaller kids like the shows and animation. A couple of evening shows I've seen were really cool dance performances. Bar: one type of beer, red wine, white wine, all ok, hot drinks and cocktails have not tried, were were with kids, so fine for me. Swimming pools: there are 3, the olympic one we did not use, the biggest one has various depth for kids of all ages, not crowded, our kids liked this a lot. There is a very small one next to the playground and my 5 y.o daughter liked it. Sea: 200 meter through the pine forest. The beach is small and kind of wild, but there were no many people there, so we liked it a lot. Gets deep slowly, you may enjoy the waves. Cons: Internet is not free of charge, which is a bit strange for 2017, but it seems like they invested quite some in the infrastructure and need to get the money back. So, charges. Air conditioning you should order otherwise not possible to survive in hot season, so I believe it should either be included into the bungalow price or not be charged. Extracharges for the miniclub cards is also a bit strange to me. The supermarket should be open all day long and fresh bread should alway be available. A bit of math: in many other camping bungalows are for 5 people max and starts from 700 Euro per week in high season, so for our team we would need 2, which could be more than 1400 Euro a week and this one is about 970 before extra charges, so, the accommodation here is relatively cheap if you are more than 5 and are ready to stay all together in one bungalow. I got a 100 euro discount voucher for the onsite restaurant on checkout to use next year. We are considering to come again next year.
